I'm so glad the girls were with me for that ultrasound because it was MUCH easier to tell she was a baby! :) Ryan couldn't go to that ultrasound as he was out of town...so our friend made the scratch off so we could find out together in St. Thomas! It was killing me to wait FOUR days and not cheat and quick scratch it off! But I waited :)
At that point we were both guessing it was a girl too! (I had a dream a few weeks before that I was having a girl and it was so real I just believed it) :) So we are pumped! I can't even tell you how great it is to KNOW what's in there! I instantly start bonding with my sweet girl and can't wait to meet her! THIS is WHO we have been praying and waiting for all those years! LOVE HER!!!!!!
The girls are so excited to teach her everything too. The other day I was saying "Addison you can teach her how to play soccer, Em you can do the night shift and teach her how to sleep...and Hailey you can do the diapers." :) Hailey immediately reacted and was like "NO MOM!" (I thought she was going to say she wanted to teach her how to color or something) But she said "I am going to teach her about Jesus!" Melt. my. heart. They care so much for her already and so do I! And - we already have her name! We had one name that just stuck out to us a long time ago and then boy names were so much harder for us. So then we find out she's a girl and it's like "that has got to be her name!" So so excited! And, even though she was a stinker for pics and gender reveal :), we are so so thankful that all of her measurements and everything looked perfect! Praise God!
Here is the pic from when I was almost 14 weeks when we found out she was a girl! :) Totally looks like her daddy here!!
This is how we told the Dooyema side of the fam that she was a girl. We gave them each the color of the balloon of what they thought we were having and asked them to blow it up.
I had poked a bunch of holes in all the blue balloons so Jody's and Grandpa's popped pretty quickly.. but amazingly Grandma's had a lot of air so everyone was confused! But finally grandma's popped too and Shane was left with the PINK one! :)
All of the little Dooyema GIRLS! Emily, cousin Erin, Addison, Hailey, cousin Kate in the carseat and another baby GIRL on the way! :) So fun! :) Crazy that Grandpa only has brothers, grandma only has brothers, and then they had Ryan and Shane! Now they get ALL granddaughters! :) Gotta love it! :)
